Some children spend hours every day on their smartphones. Why is this the case? Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

In

this

technological era,

children

have used cell

phones

most of the

time

. There are several reasons behind

this

issue and it has lots of pros and cons for their lives. In

this

essay, I am going to explain the primary reasons and I assert negatives outweigh the positives. In

this

wise age, everything is linked with social media and it is free to use for everyone.

This

is the main reason,

children

have a lot of

time

and can easily access the wifi or internet to use social media

such

as Facebook, Instagram, and TickTock. Through these applications, they can talk, send their images, and make posts.

For example

, if you have your own Facebook you can post many things as you wish and receive likes and comments.

Furthermore

, it may lead to addiction and they can not live without using it,

however

, social media has several other drawbacks

such

as

time

wasting and they do not have enough

time

to complete their assignments or work.

On the other hand

, the second cause,

children

have access to download pieces of music, games, and movies to their cell

phones

. Through it, they listen to music, play games,

as well as

watching movies.

In addition

, they are used as a tool for learning,

such

as learning new languages.

Therefore

, they spend a lot of

time

on their mobile

phones

. We can say that nowadays, mobile

phones

are one of the main entertainment,

while

, it has various negative points

such

as, they become unsocial and they do not have enough

time

to spend with their friends.

Furthermore

, they are far from improving their practical life skills. In conclusion,

it is clear that

most

children

spend lots of their

time

just using mobile

phones

as entertainment or as a learning tool,

however

, the negatives outweigh than positives.
